Da Camera of Houston presents the Tierney Sutton Band,  Friday, October 29, 2010; at  7:30 PM in the Cullen Theater, Wortham Theater Center.

Known for her way with jazz standards, vocalist Tierney Sutton has received two Grammy nominations for Best Vocal Jazz Album, a JazzWeek Award for Vocalist of the Year and consecutive nominations for Jazz Journalists Association Awards. Her CDs regularly hit the #1 spot on jazz radio playlists and garner critical praise throughout the world.

“Ms. Sutton is a pure jazz spirit who respects a song. Even when going out on an improvisatory limb, she never lets its essence slip away. The singer and her trio with whom she has worked for years…have refined the kind of rapport that could only be achieved over time.” -- The New York Times

“Her scatting boasts a clean airborne quality, and the lady can swing. A big asset is the assured assist from her trio, which has been with Sutton long enough to bond with an uncanny display of spirit and unity.” -- Variety

The jazz series also includes Anat Cohen, Stefon Harris and Blackout, Lionel Loueke, Geri Allen, and the supergroup WATTS with Jeff "Tain" Watts, Nicholas Payton, Christian McBride and David Sanchez.
